The Science Of Evolution
Questioner: According to Darwin’s theory of evolution,
life develops from a single sensory organism until it reaches the
human form. On the other hand there is the belief that one goes

the doer. He becomes the doer of karmas and this is the cause
and therefore he has to endure the effects of his causes. If he
creates a debit (paap, demerit karma or sins) he reincarnates in
the animal form and if he creates credits (punyas, meritorious

where he will enjoy material comforts and lu xuries. So after coming
into the human form, everything depends upon these debits and
